WTB: LGA 1366 CPU

[Bowhuntr11]

My i7-950 just crapped out, and need to replace it.


Anybody got something? Send me a price shipped!

I've got a i7 920 but honestly if you are going to spend any cash on a new 1366 the best move is to get a Xeon 5650 from ebay for like $70.

It will run circles around your old i7 950. Several guys in the 1366 Xeon club have your same mobo. I have yet to see one of these cpu's fail to hit 4Ghz on close to stock volts. Myself I'm running 4.6Ghz as a daily, all be it with extra voltage of course. Seriously though dozens of [H] i7/1366 guys have discovered this goldmine this summer.

Thank you very much for the info. I might be getting it then! I don't really overclock but still looks like it will be better

I have some slow chips, like W3505 slow. $10 and I'll ship you two of these old CPUs.
